But I'm not crazy right? It is odd to label those scenes as taking place in the present day when the others had specific dates? Wikipedia says it takes place in the fifities. The only thing that would lend credance to that is that Einstein and Stalin are alive. Oh, and Nadia at the end says that Nod will tire of Russia in the 1990s. I guess that puts the kabosh on it taking place then. So, I guess the answer is in the game. . . -Ryan P. Fialcowitz

I didn't see anything in those links that answered my question. My question isn't about how the games relate to each other it's about when RedAlert takes place. -Ryan P. Fialcowitz

Is there another topic that answers my questions? I could not find any. What year does Red Alert take place in? The opening cutscenes seem to indicate the mid 1990s, but the historical characters in the game seem to contradict this. My question isn't really about it's relation to Command & Conquer so much as the above. -Ryan P. Fialcowitz

I was under the impression that Red Alert was intended as a prequel to Command & Conquer, but while playing today I noticed that the first Soviet mission has a caption saying Present Day at the bottom of the screen. Given the level of technology they have it seems obvious that this is meant to reflect a time period much later then the forties. I should further note that the opening cutscene with Einstein specifically mentions 1945, I believe. If that was meant to be the present then why give the date and then later not give the date and say Present Day instead. Further Einstein still being alive if it was meant to take place in the present. . . My head hurts. I hear now that EA intends to relink the games together. How could this work? A cookie goes to whomever can provide a satisfactory explanation! -Ryan P. Fialcowitz

Thanks for your help, I apologize for breaking the forum rules- just really wanted to play the mod. Won't happen again. -Ryan P. Fialcowitz

Thanks for the info. -Ryan P. Fialcowitz

Okay, I think I fixed it. After reading of another user who solved his problem by ending cftmon.exe in the process window of Task Manager, I did the same and no crash. -Ryan P. Fialcowitz

Alright, aside from slow down I haven't noticed too many problems with C&C Gold in The First Decade collection, but I just tried The Funpark Missions and the game crashes to black after The Mission Accomplished message. It goes to black and the EVA says something to the effect of: Cannot comply. . . and then nothing. I saw another thread about this but couldn't find it again. Can anyone help? -Ryan P. Fialcowitz

The link is dead, anyone have any idea where I can get it? -Ryan P. Fialcowitz
